A CALL TO PEACE < !signature-->I wander lost in the shadows, There nothing left to say. Never alone, ever alone, I know no other way. What is it that draws you to me, What lies here I can't see? I only wish to be lonely, Please leave me to Misery. I sing my song so quietly, I offer no refrain. Yet it seems your tears sing for me, That I'm cause to your pain... In sweet teases of love so true I long to know and give. I can't help but need the touch of you, But ne'er does feeling live. You cannot mother away pains That live within this head. So why must you rattle the chains Of a child yet born dead? These are not yours, these are not hers, But my sins to atone. Cringe the sky, heaven confers They'll yet mark my headstone... I have no cause, I take no heed, To the many - to the few. Save all applause, tonight I bleed That love may be found true. So smile should you look upon me, In this, my sweet release. Darkness be my Eternity, This is my cry for peace. Michael Anderson For all behind was dark and drear, And all before was night and fear. How many hours of night or day In those suspended pangs I lay, I could not tell; I scarcely knew If this were human breath I drew.

Michael *hugs* you know I'm here anytime.. You'll get through this it'll be hard, but you'll do it.... A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

"I wander lost in the shadows, There nothing left to say. Never alone, always alone, I know no other way” I’m surrounded by friends with no one to talk to, who would understand? This statement is so true for me. Thank you Michael. Joel |

Okay. No Applause. But would you mind incredibly the European custom of snapping fingers? (hard to do while typing...) Love to you anyway. Whether you like it or not. (Serenity soft-shoes, exit, stage-right...) |

And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 04-11-2000).] |
